Blue, young, and able; a litigious society; (unresolved tension; & a cast crashes TPPN…

~Thursday~  I was at the city bus stop at 8:17 and the bus arrived at 8:21. A minute ahead of schedule if you buy 8:22 as the mode. A little mixed race boy sat with his very white mother, who had shocking red hair, played with some sort of gadget that spoke in one of … Read more

Endearing egg yolks, Diet Squirt, scar-on-scar action, car damage assessment, & Glee…

~Tuesday~  I left my house by car at 8:18 and just missed both the Wolfline #1 and #9 buses. I checked the buses’ GPS via TVS and chose the #9 stop, as it was next to come. As I waited, I realized that I’d forgotten my hard-boiled egg whites this morning to go with my … Read more

Clearer in the light of day, some cheese with that “house” wine, dinner@Red Lobster, & Caribou, too

~Sunday~  I ran to the grocery store, and on the ride over, I noticed a few things wrong with my car that I didn’t notice last night: 1) The Toyota emblem is missing from the front grill of my car, 2) My sunroof no longer slides open, and 3) The spare tire well in the … Read more

A crazy, crazy ride home: Rear-ended by a Lexus & then almost again 45 minutes later…

~Saturday~  I had a lazy, lazy day today. I never made it to the gym, but I did make it into my holiday bin to retrieve some of the red and white tissue paper to use in a Valentine’s Day basket I’m putting together. I finished up some leftover spaghetti tonight, and to that sauce … Read more

What’s that on your nose and belly, lunch with Libby & Jude @ Coquettes, and a night in…

~Thursday~  I woke up at 7:00 to a dusting of snow, which had covered my car, but was not sticking to the road at all. Which was a good thing, as I had an 8:00 follow-up appointment with my dermatologist to check on the two things she did two weeks ago, and to do a … Read more

Class(less), jalapeños and cheddar, Harry Baals, dancing, and a run of sell outs…

~Wednesday~  Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Another day of class, and I did what I could to check in, mentally, now and then in some bizarre attempt to appear interested when I clearly was not. I don’t think I fooled anyone, at all, not even for a minute. During the two episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race that … Read more

ROI training of type 1 statements, a perfect pun, a dandy dissertation topic, & nipples in a bag…

~Tuesday~  I drove over to Avent Ferry and Gorman to catch the Wolfline #1 Avent Ferry bus down to the Mission Valley Shopping Center stop, which is across the street from the building I’ll be taking a training class in all day today and tomorrow. Fortunately, I left enough time to endure the unbelievable 20 … Read more

A razor blade’s lifespan, no double negatives please, canine badging, and dancing…

~Wednesday~  After shaving this morning, I made a note to check my Google calendar to see when I last put a new blade in my razor. Yes, I do track that on my Google calendar, along with other things, such as when I rotated my tires. Because I know you care, I last changed my … Read more

Homoerotic hand placement, whole lives ahead, organizational dysfunction, and BS complaints…

~Tuesday~  I wanted to get in earlier than I would have had I waited for the 8:15 city bus, so I took the Wolfline #1 Avent Ferry bus. Note to future self: Do not take buses that have any chance of getting students to campus on the hour. I got on at the second stop … Read more

Run Forrest run, a benign polyp, the cliff of symmetry, hating hideyhole, & Second Saloniversary…

~Monday~  I was up early this morning to give myself time to make the icing for my cake. It’s easy to make, and it’s easiest to spread after being chilled, which I wanted to give it the whole day to do. To 12-ounces of Cool Whip, I added one box of Jello Pistachio Nut pudding … Read more
